Brookfield Captures it's History - the Green Trails Inn

The Brookfield Historical Society and students from the RUHS Student Media Project will present a program about the historic Green Trails Inn of Brookfield on Sunday, April 29th (rescheduled from April 15th) at Brookfield's First Congregational Church, 49 North Ridge Road.

The project documents the wonderful and entertaining history about the Inn via the personal recollections of Brookfield's own Dorcas Wright who worked and cooked at the Inn from 1939-1945, and later 1966-1970. The Green Trails Inn started out as a summer riding camp in 1932 by Jesse Fiske of Brookfield and a Rutgers University professor( and great aunt of Dorcas) , and grew to become a popular and busy year-round destination by "city folk" for riding the barn's 30 horses, skiing a network of cross country trails over 17 acres and holding many holiday celebrations for guests. By 1969 The Boston Sunday Globe described the little village as "one of the horsiest and most unpretentiously delightful four corners in all New England" due in large part to the Green Trails Inn, adjacent Inn lodging and the Fork Shop eatery on Sunset Lake.

The program will begin at 4:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of the First Congregational Church in Brookfield, at the corner of Ridge Road and VT Route 65. The program is free, open to the public, and accessible to people with disabilities. Following the program a potluck supper will be available. Come one, come all! Hope to see you on April 29th.
